I have owned one for several years. It is well designed with the exception of (2) features. (1) The sights and the lack of a removable choke. Because of all the comments Savage made the newer models capable of breaking down into two major parts for storage. To gain the best efficiency and use out of my gun I made some modifications. I ground down and polished the front sight barrel band and I turned it into a proper barrel band. Just behind the band, I installed a ramp front sight with a Hi-Viz red colored fiber optic sight. I then removed the factory lame rear sight (which is mounted too close to the shooter&#39;s eye to see and align the &quot;notch&quot; properly. I replaced it with an adjustable peep sight which was made from a Williams adj. rear peep sight. That little survival gun shoots like a dream now! Very accurate out to 50 yards + with a .22 LR or a .410 slug. The shotgun is OK out to about 20 yards with #6 or #7.5 shot. Otherwise, the beauty of the little survival gun lies in its utility.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994509998330113425.post-83166977640342363582016-06-10T23:49:21.162-06:002016-06-10T23:49:21.162-06:00Yeah, sadly, Ben no longer carries Gransfors becau...Yeah, sadly, Ben no longer carries Gransfors because of a change Gransfors did with the way they distribute their axes. Smaller stores got cut out in favor of bigger ones. Not a cool thing to do, because Ben is probably the best axe seller on the internet. <br /><br />As far as an alternative, not really sure what to tell you. I only bought from Ben&#39;s, so I can&#39;t vouch for anyone else. I&#39;ll have to look into some new stores and see if there is one I can recommend. <br /><br />Also, sorry for the delayed response. This is my busiest time of the year and I tend to be a little slow answering comments around this time. <br /><br />Best of luck,<br /><br />JasonRocky Mountain Bushcrafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07937550302603041228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994509998330113425.post-43716847065342818402016-06-05T21:49:38.960-06:002016-06-05T21:49:38.960-06:00Hi Jason want to buy GB Wilderness Hatchet.

As you can tell, price is a big factor for me. <br /><br />To give you some background, I currently live in the Dallas, TX area (Princeton, TX; very rural). I live in a new subdivision, however my brother-in-law has 10 acres of land about 5 miles down the road and is always needing help with maintenance. So the axe will not only suit me for when my brother&#39;s and I go on our 3+ day trips to Lake Texoma but also for practical use at home.<br /><br />Thanks in advance for your response,<br />Dain PrestonDain Prestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06277982275716800338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994509998330113425.post-31261379769702139742014-09-01T11:47:56.447-06:002014-09-01T11:47:56.447-06:00HEY RMB,
